それはまだ
私が神様を信じなかった頃
九月のとある木曜日に

雨が降りまして
こんな日に素敵な彼が
現われないかと
思ったところへ
あなたが雨やどり
すいませんねと笑うあなたの笑顔
とても凛凛しくて
前歯から右に四本目に
虫歯がありまして
しかたがないので
買ったばかりの
スヌーピーのハンカチ
貸してあげたけど
傘の方が良かったかしら
でも爽やかさがとても素敵だったので
そこは苦しい時だけの神だのみ
もしももしも出来ることでしたれば
あの人に
も一度逢わせてちょうだいませませ
ところが実に偶然というのは
恐ろしいもので
今年の初詣でに
私の晴着のスソを踏んずけて
あっこりゃまたすいませんねと笑う
口元から虫歯がキラリン
夢かと思って
ほっぺつねったら痛かった

そんな馬鹿げた話は
今まで聞いたことがないと
ママも兄貴も死ぬ程に
笑いころげる奴らでして
それでも私が突然
口紅などつけたものだから
おまえ大丈夫かと
おでこに手をあてた
本当ならつれて来てみろという
リクエストにお応えして
五月のとある水曜日に
彼を呼びまして
自信たっぷりに紹介したらば
彼の靴下に穴がポカリン
あわてておさえたけど
しっかり見られた
でも爽やかさがとても素敵だわと
うけたので彼が気をよくして急に
もしももしも出来ることでしたれば
この人をお嫁さんに
ちょうだいませませ
その後私気を失ってたから
よくわからないけど
目が覚めたらそういう話が
すっかり出来あがっていて
おめでとうって言われて
も一度気を失って
気がついたら あなたの腕に
雨やどり

It was when,
I didn’t believe in God
On a certain Thursday in September

When it started raining,
I wondered if a nice guy
Would show up on such a day,
And wouldn't you know it,
You arrived to shelter from the rain.
"Sorry,” you said with a smile.
Your smile was so refreshing,
And on the fourth tooth from your right,
You had a cavity.
And so,
I handed you my
Snoop-doggy handkerchief
That I had just bought.
But maybe an umbrella would have been better?
But your refreshing nature was so nice,
That I could only pray to God
If only, if only I could,
I'd ask,
“Can you let me meet that person again?”
But coincidentally,
And in a terrifying way,
At the New Year’s shrine,
You stepped on the hem of my kimono,
“Whoops, sorry again,” you said with a laugh,
And the cavity on your tooth sparkled.
I thought I was dreaming,
When I pinched my cheek, it hurt.

I’ve never heard such a ridiculous story,
My mother and brother laughed so hard
They almost died.
But then I suddenly put on lipstick,
And they asked,
“Are you okay?” and put a hand to their foreheads.
If you're serious,
Bring him here and
I'll see if he'll marry you.
So on a certain Wednesday in May,
I called him over,
And introduced him with confidence,
Only for him to have a hole in his sock!
I hurriedly tried to cover it up,
But you saw it.
But your refreshing nature was so nice,
And his spirits were lifted, and he said,
“If only, if only I could,
I'd ask,
“Can I marry this lady?”
After that, I blacked out.
When I woke up,
That was the story that I was told,
Everything had been arranged.
“Congratulations!” I was told,
And I passed out again,
And when I woke up,
I was in your arms,
Sheltered from the rain.
